Cleaning
Disconnect the Reference 30k Booster from all power sources prior to cleaning.
Clean the outside of the Reference 30k Booster enclosure with a rag dampened with either clean water or
water containing a mild detergent.
Warning:
enclosure. Do not immerse the Reference 30k Booster in any type of cleaning fluid (including water). Do
not use any abrasive cleaners.
Service
Your Reference 30k Booster has no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all service to a qualified service
technician.
Warning:
chassis open. Dangerous AC line voltages are present at several points within the Reference 30k Booster
chassis, including PC board traces. Always remove the AC power cord before opening the Reference 30k
Booster case.
RFI Warning
Your Reference 30k Booster generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. The radiated levels are
low enough that the Reference 30k Booster should present no interference problem in most industrial
laboratory environments. The Reference 30k Booster could possibly cause radio-frequency interference if
operated in a residential environment.
Electrical Transient Sensitivity
Your Reference 30k Booster was designed and has been tested to offer reasonable immunity from electrical
transients. However, in severe cases, the Reference 30k Booster could malfunction or even suffer damage from
electrical transients. If you are having problems in this regard, the following steps may help:
If the problem is static electricity (sparks are apparent when you touch the Reference 30k Booster):
•
Placing your Reference 30k Booster on a static-control work surface may help. Static-control work
surfaces are now generally available from computer supply houses and electronics tool suppliers. An
antistatic floor mat may also help, particularly if a carpet is involved in generating the static electricity.
•
Air ionizers or even simple air humidifiers can reduce the voltage available in static discharges.
If the problem is AC power line transients (often from large electrical motors near the Reference 30k Booster):
•
Try plugging your Reference 30k Booster into a different AC power (mains) branch circuit.
•
Plug your Reference 30k Booster into a power-line surge suppressor. Inexpensive surge suppressors are
now generally available because of their use with computer equipment.
Contact Gamry Instruments, Inc. if these measures do not solve the problem.
